It's hard to keep track of all the Important Shopping Days this time of year, but this Monday before Thanksgiving is now known as Handmade Monday - or maybe it's Indie Monday, but whatevah it's a good day for me to launch my pre-holiday sale at Jan4insight Handmade Gallery on Zibbet!
Below the fold you'll find out what I offer and how your purchase helps me take care of my 14-year-old diabetic (but still purty spunky) pootie, LuvLee ~
It's going to be a much better season for LuvLee & me this year compared to last year, when she got diagnosed with diabetes, ended up in the pet hospital with pancreatitis, and went through all kinds of ups & downs as her Meowmy (that's me) fumbled around learning to give insulin shots and take blood samples for glucose readings. Now, a year later, we're both old pros and LuvLee - as you can see from the recent picture above - looks like a healthy, pampered pootie half her age. And acts like it, too!
I couldn't have done it without the folks here who helped me so much with support, encouragement and information about caring for a diabetic kitty. And I definitely couldn't have done without the financial help I got from my sales to you good people, through Kos Katalogue and my Handmade Gallery. Because caring for a sick pootie is expensive! And with diabetes, there are ongoing costs. Within the next 10 days I'll have to replenish her insulin supply. The last time I refilled the insulin, it cost about $175 at Walmart (urk) which is kind of a big chunk out of our budget, even though it's a 6-month supply. So I have launched my pre-holiday sale at my Handmade Gallery (link in my sig line) and everything is 12% off through the end of this week!
I've added LOTS of new jewelry, plus some cozy new scarves. Here's a few pics to whet your appetite:
Multicolor beaded bracelet:
Beautiful blue earrings - and they've been sold, too! But are plenty more in the store:
And how about this Purple Eyelash Infinity Scarf that feels like velvet - Whoops, that's already been sold! But enjoy the photo anyway!
I know it looks like everything here is for the ladies. I do have some unisex gifts in my Prints section, like this nice picture for the guy (or gal) who loves the outdoors:
Please feel free to browse my shop and ask me any questions you have about the items. If you'd like to spread the tweet or Facebook my diary, LuvLee & I would very much appreciate it. And remember, every time you shop handmade, you're not shopping at Walmart!
PS: Before you go, there's a poll. Because, pie.
10:42 PM PT: Hi, folks - I'm pleased to say, I've had enough sales to cover the cost of LuvLee's insulin! It's such a relief to know I've got the money set aside for next week when I'll need to get the new supply.
I'm leaving my shop sale up through the end of this week, so there's still time to get a great buy on handmade things for holiday giving. Thank you all for your support and help, and for supporting us wacky handmade indie online sellers!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you & yours. And yes, LuvLee will get some turkey for Thanksgiving!
